Turning Point Hospitality Pty ltd. is an e-waste management company licensed by the Department of waste management & pollution control, Botswana. The company deals in disposing of obsolete Information Technology devices like computers, laptops, printed circuit boards, printers, smartphones, and modems. Turning Point promotes the sanitization of media devices before recycling and reusing them to reduce the environmental impact of e-waste
Business Need
Turning Point approached BitRaser with the following needs:
- Certified Data Sanitization Software That Makes Data Recovery Impossible: The Company was looking for a top-class data destruction software that provides permanent data erasure on all media devices and helps meet global compliances.
- Assessment Report on Health of devices to Review Reusability: Turning Point wanted a software that could help in gauging device reusability by accessing the health of the device after sanitization.
- Increase Reuse & Resell of Sanitized Devices: The client needed a secure wiping solution that could be the best alternative to physically destroying the device and promote the cause of circular economy by reselling the sanitized devices.
Challenges
Turning Point was earlier involved in physical destruction of hard drives due to which they had to pay additional cost for the equipment. Further, they were not able to reuse the old devices and resell them. The firm realized the importance of data sanitization over physical destruction that was against the concept of circular economy and reusing of old devices.
Solution: Our team analyzed the requirements of Turning Point and suggested BitRaser Drive Eraser software for wiping hard drives and SSDs. The cost-effective software was an ideal solution for the Botswana-based ITAD to help them erase devices securely and ensure compliance with global data protection laws & regulations. The data eraser solution also provides tamper-proof reports & certificates which are extremely helpful in gauging device health and increasing resale value. These reports serve as audit trails for compliance needs. The software’s capability for complete sanitization makes the device reusable, thereby reducing e-waste.
